Sony Xperia Z1 f leak brings new image and specs Sep 30th 2013, 16:26, by Robert Nelson It looks like some details of the Sony Honami Mini have been leaked. This isn’t the first time we have seen leaks dealing with this model, but this latest round is said to have come by way of Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo. Perhaps more important, this latest leak does have an image and some specs for the Sony Xperia Z1 f with model number SO-02F. The mention of the Honami Mini model number sits alongside mention of the regular-sized Sony Xperia Z1 with model number SO-01F. Anyway, the leak comes by way of the folks at Xperia Blog and while there is nothing suggesting these have been faked — as with any leak and/or rumor — we should always be a bit skeptical. With that warning out of the way, those specs look to begin with a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720. This would be in comparison to the regular-sized Xperia Z1 which sports a 5-inch 1080p display. Otherwise, remaining specs for the Xperia Z1 f suggest the handset will simply be a smaller version of the Z1. The leaks shows the Xperia Z1 f as having a Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 2300 mAh battery and 20 megapixel rear-facing camera. The Xperia Z1 f is also shown as being waterproof and dustproof. Both the regular-sized and mini-sized models of the Xperia Z1 will be available in a variety of colors. As we have already seen, the Xperia Z1 is available in black, white and purple. The Xperia Z1 f will have the same black and white, but instead of purple, it looks like the handset will have an option for yellow and pink. This color lineup does have us wondering about an earlier leak though. Back in mid-September we saw the Xperia Z1 Mini leak and at that time it was showing the handset in purple. This seems to go against this latest leak. Otherwise, we have yet to see much in terms of release details for the Xperia Z1 f, however as we have seen, Sony has been rolling out the Xperia Z1 and those curious about some first impression thoughts may want to check out our earlier hands-on.

That launch was later confirmed to be September 21st, however as we saw — that launch never happened. The 7AM launch time came and went and BlackBerry later confirmed the release plans were put on hold. Aside from some talk of the delay being blamed on the pre-release leak, the talk of BBM for Android seems to have gone quiet. Well, there are still folks waiting for the app to arrive in the Play Store, however talk seemed to have gone quiet from BlackBerry. That said though, it looks like those plans are still in progress. In a recent tweet coming from the official @BBM Twitter account, there was talk of BlackBerry still being committed to this release. The new details are rather light in terms of specifics, but it was said they are “still 100% committed.” “Still 100% committed to bringing #BBM to Android and iPhone. Sign up at http://BBM.com  to know when #BBM4All” Looking back to the news of the delay and it seems that was due to a large group of new users. In fact, in the statement issued by BlackBerry, they said the “active users of the unreleased app neared a million — and accelerated.” Simply put, it looks like BlackBerry chose to fight the leak by pausing the launch. They had said the team was working towards completely blocking that unreleased version and also working towards preventing a similar situation next time around. Otherwise, while there was nothing further given in terms of a release date, that statement, which arrived on September 23rd did say that a release will “take some time” and is not expected this week.
